Idiot GOP Senate Set to Shaft Estrada?

I believe a real push to repeal the 17th amendment must be done too.

If we were to fantasize that this could really happen, how would it happen?

Would Congress actually pass an amendment that effectively nullifies the current Senate and sends them back to their respective states for appointment?

On the other hand, people get scared when there is talk of convening a Constitutional Convention because then everything is up for grabs.

So, how might that happen?

Since you quote my post, which was written immediately when Rush first announced the phone calls correcting him, I will respond. My post was not meant to encompass ALL that Rush said about it. In fact, reading the very next post:

Haven't had time to catch up with all of this thread yet, but Santorum's office just called Rush's office and said the Fox story was wrong -- no cloture vote Tuesday (Rush is glad) -- they did say some members are getting nervous about other business not being done. (Which members, Democrat or Republican?) And that they are trying to get as close to a "real" filibuster as possible although it may not be 24/7. Rush seems to be feeling a little better based on these representations. He's come down hard on the Republicans today which I hope will help encourage them to stay the course on Estrada. It's crucial.

See the word "wrong"? Fortunately the Republicans had no intention of backing down and aren't changing a thing due to Rush. (Who I AM a fan of, but this time he relied on only the one story and was under a false impression.)

What in the world is your hurry? Can you even attempt to explain that?

Because it would be nice to get other things done as well this year. Finish off the rats on this one and the rest will fall into place.

PS
Fifi and I kick rats butt at another site daily! You should of seen us during the election of 2002, we had the rats on the run.

I knew it ...its all about the ratty rats

[TLBSHOW]

I am willing to drop the fight over the stories if you are?

Main thing is the Gop does not give in and we beat the rats at their game. Much is at stake and I have from as far back as the week of the 15th pointed out the constitution issue and that is what is as important as getting things passed that the President wants.

[TLBSHOW]

Its always about beating the rats!

[cyncooper]

Someone told Rush the fox story was wrong and that was a lie, it was right when written.

The people who told Rush the story was wrong were Rick Santorum and Orrin Hatch.

Are you calling them liars?

[TLBSHOW]

This issue is where it starts and if Rush keeps up about the constitution part of it that is the starting point. The writers are already writting the stories and once the 24/7 starts and is all over the news is when we hit them with the 17th Amendment. Just an opinion of course.

[cyncooper]

The unanimity of the Conference has been and continues to be incredible. Sen. Hatch has been heroic, Sen. Frist has been steady, Sen. Santorum has outspoken.

Thank you for adding to the discussion.

Many of us have observed this with our own eyes. Plus President Bush's extremely strong statement of support for Estrada--I believe Wednesday?--was an indication of what he expected from the Senate. Many of us can see that the 24/7 option is one of last resort, and not one they will shy from using *if need be*. That time is not now.

Again, thanks for that insight.

[cyncooper]

It's take a number time again. First he has to tell us who is trying to protect the dems and has socialist goals to destroy our country and the Bush Presidency.

I asked way back here:

[TLBSHOW]

It isn't starting again. If you want to discuss the issue of beating the democrats and repealing the 17th Amendment which is a Freerepublic goal then lets talk. If you want saturday night at the fights turn on your TV..

Yes.

And Fox News, too.

And Tony Snow, too.

And Rush, too.

[TLBSHOW]

You will find that whole story amazing.

[deport]

Yes it's all about him and his ratty rat buds....... I've asked him several times already if he's gotten finished with the dinner dishes and the kitchen cleaned up. But he want answer. He did take about 25 minutes at dinner but he's been here full time otherwise.

He also want tell me if he likes turnips. But he was bragging about salt taters, beans and yard bird earlier.

A New Move on Estrada
The White House challenges Democrats to put up or shut up.

So the real accurate story was out there but was ignored.

[TLBSHOW]

A great thread here about rat democrats and smears and the constitution and so much more. Check it out if you get the time. We will beat the dems and show America just how racist they are. In 2004 they won't know what hit them!

[deport]

Because it would be nice to get other things done as well this year.

Still 10 months left in the year..... Relax and you may live longer..... Again have you finished the dishes yet? Can't you even say yes or no? Has the cat got your yes or not fingers? Your keyboard minus a Y or N?

the Real fifi .... are you buds with the 'gifter'? Do you beat Ratty Rats but good. Even Slam them but good.

[woofie]

He also want tell me if he likes turnips

Turnip rat stew is my favorite

[deport]

There was a turnip truck by here I believe in the last few days. I thought maybe he'd picked up a few.

Hey I've been to a few hog killings, several county fairs, lots of rodeos, and at least a half dozen goat ropings... but I've never in my life seen anything like him.
